This International Standard identifies specific test procedures for the acquisition and presentation of comparable single-point data for properties of rubber compounds. In general, each property is specified by a single test method and a single experimental value although, in certain cases, properties may be represented by more than one value obtained under different test conditions. The properties presented are those used to characterize processing properties, those most often quoted by manufacturers and in material specifications, and those relevant to more specific applications. An important application of this International Standard consists in helping different suppliers produce material specification sheets in which the same set of properties is measured using the same conditions.
